Vandal Savage was a supervillain throughout the ages.
He was an immortal, and he was an enemy to many superheroes.
History[]
Prehistoric Era[]
Vandal Adg was a member of the Blood Tribe during the Prehistoric era. He was a ruthless hunter. One day a meteor from outer space crash-lands near him, and he is bathed in radiation that gives him super intelligence and immortality.[3]
Egypt[]
Pyramids of Egypt
In Ancient Egypt, Vandal Savage takes the identity of Khafre, and becomes the ruler of Egypt. During his reign, the Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Sphinx of Giza are constructed.[4]
Blackbeard[]
Blackbeard
In the 17th century, Savage took on the identity of Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, who was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies during the late 17th century. Once, Atom and Wonder Woman are transported to this year by Doctor Wells' time machine and they confront Blackbeard on his pirate ship.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Super Intelligence: Savage was granted special enlightenment by the meteorite. That combined with the wisdom he has obtained from his incredibly long life, he is most likely one the most intelligent people in the world. This version of Savage is the only one to have his intellect superpowered. (In other versions his super intellect was not a direct result of the meteor, but rather indirect as his immortality gave him the chance for unlimited education and extraordinary life experiences).
- Immortality: Unlike most humans, Savage is not bound by a life span. He's 52,000 years old and he hasn't aged a day since he was first exposed to the radiation of the meteorite. Death cannot claim him in any imaginable way known. If he is decapitated, his body would grow back. Even if he were to be disintegrated, a single cell would cause his body to rejuvenate itself.
- Accelerated Healing: As an immortal being who cannot die, any time he is wounded, even if it were a wound that would be fatal to anyone else, he would heal very quickly.
Appearances[]
Notes[]
- Vandal Savage (of Earth-Two) made his first appearance in Green Lantern Vol. 1 # 10 (Winter 1944).
